Troy accepting bids on foreclosed commercial properties, homes

The city of Troy, New York, is accepting purchase offers on dozens of foreclosed properties, including nearly 50 commercial buildings and vacant parcels of land.

Sealed proposals will be accepted until Sept. 4.

The properties include the old Leonard Hospital at 74 New Turnpike Road in Lansingburgh, a former restaurant at 873 Fifth Ave., a manufacturing plant at 27 River St., and the former Levonian Bros. meat processing plant at 41-61 River St.

The owners of The Cookie Factory, a commercial bakery in Troy, will submit a proposal to buy the Levonian Bros. plant to expand their kitchen, said Chris Alberino, co-owner.

Some properties were newly foreclosed on by the city for non-payment of taxes. Others were foreclosed on in recent years, said Bill Dunne, commissioner of planning and economic development.

A City Hall committee will evaluate the sealed proposals and make recommendations to the mayor and City Council. The council could vote on the sales in early October.
